Scope and content
Kitchen interior of new home in Skyline Terrace. In this home built by Fitzpatrick-McIntyre the modern kitchen features high-gloss natural finished cabinets, part of the blonde furniture trend. Four-by-four inch ceramic tile counters were indicative of the well-built home as were interior laundry rooms adjacent to kitchens. Modern washing machines with matching electric dryers replaced the wringer-style washers and clothes lines. The "model housewife" performs her housework in apron and high heels.
